We can't know, because choosing ECC or non-ECC based on price vs features isn't a choice most Intel consumers get to make. I do personally think the benefits would have proven themselves worth the cost over the previous couple of decades if The Market wasn't artificially constrained by an intentional limitation in the processors 99% of people use. Prices would come down with additional volume too.

The memory controller supports ECC if Apple cared about it they would’ve forced Intel’s hand a long time ago it would not be particularly difficult for Apple to request a custom SKU with ECC enabled.
